Quote: The Devil's Advocate "On a personal level I’m moving abroad (Europe) as soon as my damn house sells, & it appears the Brexit dilemma is affecting the pound / euro exchange rate, amongst other factors.
If we do pull out of Europe & the pound plummets it will seriously affect my future house purchase & my pension spending power.
On a less selfish note, I worry that workers’ rights will be eroded & the drawbridge will be pulled up especially regarding people seeking asylum.'"
Who's to say that if we Brexit you'll be allowed to move to Europe?
Free movement is a valuable thing that people (including our "expats" (don't dare call them immigrants) on the Costa del Sol) seem to avoid discussing even when they benefit themselves. The fact that I could go and work in any other member state, because it isn't all one way traffic, seems to escape people too.
It isn't as simple as just that but I would love the rest of the EU to require visas for Brits going on holiday and to kick out all those Daily Mail reading, ranting, hypocritical pensioners.
I'd be happy to see some serious reform of the EU overall that benefits each member state, but to go in unilaterally demanding changes is folly of the highest order. The fact that the ECJ, the ECHR and EU all seem to be conflated in the anti Europe rhetoric says a lot about those Brexiters too.
Will Cameron resign if he doesn't get his deal? We can but hope.
